The Impact Study (MBIS) is a 6 year effort to assess the potential implications of a warmer climate for the watershed of the Mackenzie River, covering parts of B.C., Alta., Sask., the N.W.T., and the Yukon. It is supported by the federal Green Plan and contributions from other agencies, universities, the private sector, and native organizations. This document covers an extensive and diverse range of climate-related issues, including climate monitoring, integrated impact assessment of climate warming scenarios, and sectoral assessments of land, water, vegetation, wildlife, communities and economic activities. Most papers describe research methods and data bases, and several also provide results of field observations and modelling activities. Several papers from invited speakers and a summary of a round table discussion are also included.
